Dear All,

I am trying to integrate LDAP using Unity API via WCF Service,But i am getting error message "An error occurred within the Unity API: Authentication Failed for user '' on Datasource 'OnBase'."  I am mentioned below what ever codes using ,

DomainAuthenticationProperties props = Hyland.Unity.Application.CreateDomainAuthenticationProperties(APPSERVERURL, DATASOURCE);
props.LicenseType = LicenseType.Default;

Hyland.Unity.Application app1 = Hyland.Unity.Application.Connect(props);

(OR)

Hyland.Unity.Application app1 = Hyland.Unity.Application. ConnectUsingDomainAuthentication(APPSERVERURL,DATASOURCE);

Please suggest any solution ,any help much appreciated..

Hi Manikandakumar,

That error is usually a sign of your virtual directory configuration where OnBase is expecting credentials and none are passed. This typically means the virtual directory which you are referencing for your Application Server is configured for Windows Authentication enabled. You can also check your OnBase Network Security configuration to see if you are configured for autologon or interactive authentication (Config | Utils | Network Security).

In your example you do not show the properties (ie props) for the Username and Password properties (ie props.username, props.password). You would need to pass user credentials in order for authentication to take place.

Take care.

Dear Adam,
Thanks for reply,
I checked that my application server windows authentication is disabled even thick client and web client auto login was working fine only problem is through Unity API .Should i pass the username and password to single signon for LDAP means it is not make sense right.please help me to solve this issue.

If the request is to configure your Unity API based application to autologon to OnBase, then you would need to have an service virtual directory (ie Application Server) configured for Windows Authentication enabled. You would not need to pass credentials to the application at that point since the credentials will be captured from the logged in user.

Can you verify that you are in fact configured for LDAP authentication (Config | Utils | Network Security)?

Thanks.

Dear Adam,
As you suggested ,I have set up a application server as a windows Authentication.But now problem is custom page is HTML while submit the page i am calling WCF Service ,the service published on server.So now when ever user trying to upload the document(s) from their system the service taking the server username default not which user was uploading.So now is there any way to pass a username as a parameter for get the session for that particular user in OnBase using Unity API without password otherwise based on the username can we check the permission for the particular document type whether he/she can upload and delete the document.

Please drive me a good way to solve this issue....
